Waxy looking plant: what is causing this? Would love some input

[Jame9111]

Shiny waxy dark green leaves thinking I might be giving too much nitrogen or just too heavy of a feeding?

 

[Skunksta]

What are you feeding her.
May i ask?

So your in Peat moss
Looks to me like what ever product in the line.
That has the Calmag in it dail back some.
Never used that line if im honest.

It does look a little darker green than we like, but I see no real complaints about it. Make sure you are using a form of calmag that doesn't add its own N. Other than that, turn up the lights a bit or bring them a little closer, and see if you can work these plants a little harder so they can work off some of that advanced feed.

Ok thanks

It's under a 400 w metal highlight. Dim down to 250. I'll up it to 400 w and the Cali magic I'm using has 1.0% nitrogen. That's the lowest Cal mag I could find. I think with this one I'm gonna give her a nice drink with half strength feed I really got to get my soil tester back or actually a new one.

Oh before I get ready for the day I've noticed the veins of the leaves staying dark in the rest of the leaves lightning slightly I remember coming across something about that I just can't remember

don't go flying off trying to fix multiple things at once. There are calmags with zero N... find one. Work that plant... it can handle full light by now. Show that plant who is boss.

Right I'll take a look for some Cal Meg without nitrogen but I use 11 bottles of nutrients in like eight of them have nitrogen in them

i'd probably just let it roll as is. it looks a little deep, but i don't mind it in veg so much, there's no real claw.

a 1-0-0 or 2 -0 -0 is probably fine. MH doesn't chew that much cal-mag. you could use what you have and back off a touch. it will use more when you turn the light up. like em mentioned they can take a bit more.

you likely just need to stay where you are and turn the thing up.

hence the problem. Your advanced nutes are hitting those plants hard with everything but the Mg.

 

[Emilya Green]

Also, according to Mulder's chart, N and Mg have a synergism... the more used of either one, causes increased need of the other one. Reduce the N a tad, and the need for additional Mg will also go down.

I have some botanicare 2-0-0 and now that I'm looking the Cali magic is 1-0-0 .

I like that that sounds proper

So with magnesium iron will be needed more. Am I somewhat reading this chart right

No, Mg only has a synergism with N and P
